Persuasive Argument

       If i was the lawyer in that case, i would have to take the prosecution side. Why you ask is beacouse if that women had seen Mr. Hyde wondering around next to the murder location. There has to be a reason why he was there and what was he doing at that time. You would ask Mr. Hyde that wat were you doing at that time and where were you going. Also you would have to ask the young women in detail tell me what was he doing when he was at the murder scene. On the result of the response that the women gives, it would make your hypothesis more accurate and then make a good and accurate conclusion to the case. Well i would ask Hydes goods friend that did he have any bad realations with Sir Danvers Carew. Like did they have any fights that they were very angry about that they would kill each other for their peace. I would like to say that Mr Hyde is a very sneaky and slick person he can go very low sometimes. Mr. Hyde is also close to being a very bad person, I hope i had persuaded the jury and the judge but in my perspective i think Mr. Hyde is guily as charge. Members of the jury listen to my voice and chose your side.

  1. Pathik,
    First and foremost, remember that you are to write this as if you are the prosecuting attorney speaking directly to the jury (Victorian citizens). As with any other writing you will need an introduction and a conclusion that is powerfully worded so that you stir the emotions of the jury members and make them want to convict Hyde. The middle of your writing/speech should be devoted to highlighting or recapping the details of the trial that prove why Hyde should be put away for these crimes. In the first body paragraphs you should detail the evidence of the murder (use the novel to remember the evidence that was discovered at the scene of the crime and afterwards). Next, move on to recall the witnesses to the crime and character witnesses that might have been called in to testify. Finally, think about your jury. What do Victorian citizens care most about? How could you use this to help you seal your argument. Check out the articles on the Flog website for information on this. Remember to use language that would be used in a courtroom. You might watch some episodes of courtroom TV drama or clips of these shows on youtube. Notice the way they speak in their closing arguments. Best of luck.
